That’s a wrap on a second season on the beat unlike anything I could have expected.

I never took a day at this ballpark for granted this year and tried my best every day to bring you all here with me. You were all missed, and I hope that you’ll be back here with us next year.

Thanks to all Twins fans for following, reading and supporting this year. I don't get around to answering every tweet, DM or email, but you're all appreciated a ton.

Twins Twitter is full of passionate fans that know how to have fun. You make my job (mostly) better. Thanks.

I don't actively root for the Twins as a member of the media, but there are a ton of really, really good dudes in that clubhouse that went through a ton of shit and made a lot of sacrifices to bring you this season of baseball, and I hoped they could get more for that.

Twins PR went out of their way to accommodate us in an unprecedented season, and I can't say enough for all they did to help make our jobs possible. They're an amazing group.

Same goes for coaches and front office members that were great all year.

Can't wait for next season.
